person i think there's one thing of a hollywood couple that has a trans, maybe that trans person is more provisioned me but other than that i was grounded by layers of safety and i just said i don't think it's right to put all of that work on them and it was done intentionally for many years and you know this injury because you come from the movement it's intentional, transgender men agrees verbally outlaw the conferences that we agreed if we get handed the microphone, and a black trans woman you handed to her, we did not and then it just felt like at this point we may have overcorrected into much responsibility on them and now that this part of a conversation maybe there's a chance to take the weight off of them and my question is when people say how could you ever possibly no, was it worth it? that's a question i may never have the answer to. i don't think i will ever get back as a result and that was not something i wanted to answer. >> my situation was somewhat rests under less radical than yours, the story of my family in the world for many of the same reasons with a sense that

perfectly healthy for trans people to give birth. they want to know how do we show up in support so yes. surprisingly i think things are okay for me. >> one of the things that strike me in the book is that you've done a lot of community building. it was was a lot of the work that you did in the nonprofit sector was something that you powerfully did in putting together the friends you describe, the ones who were there that day when you got up on the stage and proposed. and i felt reading it when you described your medical provider you didn't go into huge details about finding them, i thought it took a lot of focus and energy and determination and skill to find all those people who were pretty unconditionally on your side through all of this, not only on your side but on your side and on tintimidated by it. we didn't feel like i don't know what to say. you were able to give them, here are the issues. the things that you felt where do we go from here. do you feellike that was something you did consciously ? is thatsomething you continue

unlike trans mystery i, this is an atomic region fully recognized by moldova. most people here are in favor of the kremlin, so called special military operation. despite this pro russia stance many fugitives find refuge here because it is so close to their homeland. ah, what have you heard about it? how to keep quiet today? only a few bombs fell at night. but people use the. com to organize themselves and look for food that they're prepared for the next bombings. it's very hard way that the worst terror. ah ah, use them still? we don't know what's coming. the me. people. i think he's doing the right thing and you know, what happened in ukraine has also worried us, if not, sooner or later it will be here to ukraine is so close for, of course it concerns us to clean it out on the separate last post on there and she's here to like us over into others, and there are more and more of them. and in ukraine, the faction has become stronger and stronger. vladimir, let me put in new exactly what was going on and it was time for him to react to show. so i me, ah, what is
